This kind of marketing is pretty common on HN. Provocative title and a blog post (written as if they're an independent observer) that presents a 'problem' and conveniently their product is perfect for solving it. The worst is these things get tons of upvotes.

The readers of HN are human after all, unless you're all bots and I'm the last human. Oh gawd, what if I'm not human either. Oh crap, now I'm going to be fretting over that all day.

If you see a title, you have no idea it is from a 1st party or 3rd party until you read the article. Or, you could just come to the comments an diatribe away. That's the internet way, and claiming to be morally better than the internet is the HN way.

At least, unlike for the overwhelming majority of articles, the title is by the author himself.
